Hawkins, Coleman - Hawkins Alive ! At The Village Gate

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON VERVE 1962.

Verve V6-8509 made in USA. Vinyl NM. Cover NM.

The great Hawkins (who debuted on records 40 years earlier) gets to stretch out on this live outing by his 1962 quartet (which also features pianist Tommy Flanagan). This CD, which as a former LP had lengthy versions of "All the Things You Are," "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" "Mack the Knife" and "Talk of the Town," is augmented by previously unreleased versions of "Bean and the Boys" and "If I Had You," all of which show that Coleman Hawkins in his late 50s was still a powerful force. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Hawkins
